Abstract

Bacillus pumilus TUAT1 was isolated from soil in a university research field. Strain TUAT1 has the ability to promote the growth of plants, including that of rice, and has been commercialized as a biofertilizer. Here, we sequenced and annotated the genome of TUAT1 to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying its plant growth promotion.
